I'll try to stay as current as possible on this section, but editing hundreds of digital photos takes a lot of time!!!

In February 2005, I got a bee-autiful Olympus C-5060wz digital camera. I initially had the Olympus PT-020 housing for it, but unfortunately, on my fourth dive with the camera, the housing flooded and my bee-autiful camera was no more. Who ya gonna call? DEPP! In a rare anti-blonde moment, I had insured my camera, so dialed up DEPP and told them my camera had been reborne as a paperweight. They are in the process of replacing it, and in the meantime, I've gotten the opportunity to shoot with an Olympus C-5050wz, a Reefmaster DC310, and a Sea&Sea 5000. All nice cameras... but I miss mine!! As time goes on, you'll hear about all the stuff I plan on buying for my baby. I've already coughed up the extra money to upgrade to an Ikelite housing, which is sturdier and only has a single, normal-shaped o-ring to deal with. Next up is an Inon macro lens and an Ikelite DS50 Strobe. Who needs to pay bills? Update!: Finally got my baby back! (well, a reincarnated baby) I got to test out my new setup on the May 5-7 diving and ooh do I love it!! I also have a spanking new (used) DS50 on the way with an EV controller (that's a flash you stick on the outside of the camera housing so you don't get all that floaty white stuff in the water and can get more light on the shark that's about to eat you). Wahoo!

Photos are arranged so that the most recent dives (and hopefully the best photo quality) are at the top. Over time, if I get enough photos of enough different critters, I'll have an alternate setup so you can browse by critter type. Feel free to use any of this stuff for non-commercial purposes, just please keep my name attached. I'd love to hear if you're using it, but that's not a requirement. If you think a classification is wrong, you're probably right, so let me know that too. I'm new at this stuff. I also welcome any suggestions on making the page better-looking, easier to navigate, and so forth.
